Kimie, a peer girl friend of mine from high school in Japan. It is very funny how I could relate to her almost the same way as I used to, 15 years later here in NYC. We went to dance clubs, drank, laugh really loudly (I thought it's just me), flirt boys, staying up late, etc... just like how we were when we were teenagers. I saw a part of me in her.

Intimacy of "girl friends"

J-skaters we met at Yokocho. Most of them were more than a decade younger than us. They called us "お姉さん”

Ristorante "Piccola Venezia", one of the most traditional fine Italian restaurant in the NYC area, and it is actually located in my neighborhood, Astoria. They even have a table called "Tony Bennet Corner". The atmosphere is one of the kinds.
